· Time – preparation time/non-teaching times
· Time to learn from colleagues – time to exchange ideas
· Importance of clarifying roles in collaborative teaching situations
· Too many non-teaching tasks i.e. emails (often ICT related)
· Approach to communicating sometimes too negative
· Lack of understanding and appreciation of the requirements of everyone’s role
· Channels of communication
· Lack of subs
· Quiet working area to work if you share a classroom.

  • Far too much time spent on unnecessary non-teaching related jobs. I know that this is mentioned above but I think it cannot be reiterated often enough!
